LOS ANGELES >> Technically, the victories are still classified as walk-off, even if that’s not what they look like from the Dodgers’ perspective.
Dance-off, maybe. Frolic-off, perhaps. Cavort-off, certainly.
The latest episode came Wednesday when the giddiest team in baseball managed to manufacture victory from a game it early on appeared thoroughly determined to lose.
Two flubbed defensive plays permitted Minnesota to score five unearned runs as the hitters did little through six innings against Twins starter Ervin Santana, a reigning All-Star.
None of that ultimately mattered, though, because these are the Dodgers and this is 2017, and when the Dodgers play in 2017 the wonderful, mystifying and downright unthinkable tend to happen, the result usually being a Dodgers win.
